News and Open Source Releases

The Lubuntu distribution is one of the lighter official flavours of Ubuntu and is often used on older computers. The Lubuntu team has reported that they will no longer support 32-bit computers in future releases of the distribution. "With i386-only machines becoming an artifact of the past, it has become increasingly clear to the Lubuntu Team that we need to evaluate its removal from the architectures we support. After careful consideration, we regret to inform our users that Lubuntu 19.04 and future versions will not see a release for the i386 architecture. Please do note that we will continue to support Lubuntu 18.04 LTS i386 users as a first-class citizen until its End of Life date in April of 2021."
